Its Def and SpDef are 65.

Its speed is quite low and too high for trick room.

Its Hp stat is quite good actually.

It needs either Choice scarf to outspeed anything atleast below the 130 speed base range or Choice band to deal massive damage to those who don't resist or resist it.

One of its counters literally said, "Faster Pokemons" if it has no choice scarf which isn't out yet It would definitely be a niche pokemon and will be ranked. It is the hardest-hitting pokemon when compared with those with same typing (Blaziken, Infernape). It can learn Sucker Punch and Wild Charge, which are good priority and coverage move, respectively. As Travestyah said though, it has lackluster defenses and to make the matter worse, it is weak to earthquake, a common move that almost always OHKO Emboar.
